While attending GISRUK 2019 we would like to ask all delegates to consider their environmental impact and therefore suggest delegates bring a re-fillable water bottle. We would also like you to consider your use of paper, and if you choose to take notes do so digitally - however we appreciate that this may not be always possible or preferred so there will be a small number of notebooks available, provided generously by one of our sponsors, Ordnance Survey.

Early career scholarships

We will be offering 10 scholarships for early career researchers (see criteria below) - These have now been offered, sorry to those who missed out.
These will cover the registration fee. For those who would like to apply, please do so following the submission of your abstract using the link below. We will notify all applicants of the outcome of their application before the end of February to give time to register at the Early Bird rate if unsuccessful for a scholarship.

The scholarships will be awarded on the quality of the abstract submitted, with only one application per person being considered.

Early career workshops

A programme of workshops for early career researchers has been planned, beginning at lunch time on the 23rd April and running until the start of the main conference at lunch time on the 24th April. More information on the workshops will be announced soon.

Equal opportunity/Code of conduct

GISRUK every year offers equal opportunities to all participants and interested parties.

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organisers.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately.

For those who are interested in attending GISRUK 2019 but have childcare concerns, please get in touch with us as we will be more than happy to discuss your situation to see if we can help.
